Background • Brain metastases are reported at initial diagnosis in 15-35% of patients with ALK+ metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)1-3 • Frequency of brain lesions can increase (up to 46% of ALK+ patients by one estimate4) over the course of first-line therapy • Crizotinib is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with proven efficacy against ALK+ tumors3,5 • Clinical benefits of crizotinib in ALK+ metastatic NSCLC patients with brain metastases have been documented in trial data6 and in single-case reports7 1.

BMJ Case Rep 2013. doi:10.1136/bcr-2013-200867. 2 Rationale and Objectives • The clinical experience of crizotinib-treated patients with ALK+ metastatic NSCLC and brain metastases has not been widely assessed in real-world settings • To help fill this research gap, we assessed the following in a small cohort of ALK+ metastatic NSCLC patients with brain metastases: – Demographic and clinical characteristics – Objective response rate (ORR) of primary tumor during crizotinib treatment and 1-year survival rates from crizotinib initiation – Status of brain lesions (intracranial response [ICR]) during crizotinib treatment 3 Methods • Retrospective chart review (anonymized data, IRB approved) • Data abstraction performed in 2014 by pooled sample of 147 oncologists in the US (n = 107) and Canada (n = 40) • Patient inclusion criteria: – Adults (age ≥18) diagnosed with ALK+ metastatic NSCLC – Received crizotinib as first- or later-line treatment – First crizotinib treatment received between 8/1/2011 and 3/31/2013 (for US patients), or 4/12/2012 and 3/31/2013 (for Canadian patients) Cohort for main study (n = 212) See 2016 WCLC Abstract No. 929 – Complete medical record through last crizotinib dose – Brain metastases present prior to or upon crizotinib initiation Cohort for present analyses (n = 33) • Analyses were descriptive and exploratory – Kaplan-Meier (K-M) methods used for 1-year survival rate estimates 4 Results – Patient Demographics & Clinical Characteristics Demographics Age at crizotinib 57.6 (11.9) Clinical Characteristics Deceased at date of chart initiation, mean (SD) review, n (%) Sex, n (%) Current/former smoker, n (%) Male 19 (57.6) Female 14 (42.4) 5 22 (66.7) ECOG at diagnosis, n (%) Ethnicity, n (%) 0 or 1 18 (54.5) 2 or 3 15 (45.5) White 25 (75.8) Black 5 (15.2) (%) Asian/Pacific 3 (9.0) Crizotinib treatment duration islander 10 (30.2) Adenocarcinoma histology, n (days), median 28 (84.8) 230 Results – Best Response (Primary Tumor) and Survival Patients Initiating Crizotinib as First-Line Tx (n = 22) 4% Patients Initiating Crizotinib as Second/Later-Line Tx (n = 11) Complete response 13% 17% 18% 48% Complete response 20% Partial response Partial response Stable disease Stable disease 20% 60% Disease progression Disease progression Not assessed Not assessed ORR = 60% ORR = 61% K-M Estimates of 1-Year Survival Probability from Crizotinib Initiation Patients Initiating Crizotinib First-Line 80.7% Patients Initiating Crizotinib Second/Later-Line 77.1% 0% 6 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% Results – Status of Brain Lesions During Crizotinib Treatment Intracranial Response During Crizotinib Treatment 100% 90% 27% 80% 44% Stable Disease 70% 14% Progressive Disease 60% 11% 50% 40% Partial Intracranial Response 41% 22% 30% Complete Intracranial Response 20% 10% 18% 22% First-Line Initiators (n = 22) Second-Line Initiators (n = 11) 0% • Note: 71% of patients received either whole brain radiotherapy or stereotactic radiosurgery prior to crizotinib initiation. 7 Study Limitations • Estimates based on small subsample (n = 33) of a larger multinational study – Small sample size limited study to descriptive, exploratory analyses (no multivariable adjustments for covariates) – Results may not be generalizable to entire ALK+ metastatic NSCLC population in the US or Canada • No covariate adjustments – ICR, for example, may be confounded by prior treatments (71% rec’d either whole brain radiotherapy or stereotactic radiosurgery) • Convenience sample – Non-randomized population – Timing and manner of assessments of ORR and ICR not protocol-driven (i.e., not assessed at pre-defined intervals, but rather at time points determined by the physicians in regular practice) • Chart reviews subject to data entry/coding errors 8 Conclusions • Complete or partial response of the primary tumor during crizotinib treatment was seen in a majority of patients (ORR ~60%) • 1-year survival (~80%) was higher than a recent trial-based report of ALK+ metastatic NSCLC patients with brain metastases (~65%)6 • Results support emerging literature on the possible clinical benefits of crizotinib in ALK+ metastatic NSCLC patients with brain metastases • Findings provide signal that outcomes may be further optimized with earlier (first-line) initiation of crizotinib 6.
